The Glacier Lodge offers magnificent views of Snaefellsjokull to the north and a panorama across Faxafloi bay to the south. Built in 2010 and one of a small group of similar properties, this is a modern self-catering cottage of 100 sqm which can comfortably accommodate six adults.

Just a two hour drive from Reykjavik, this home away from home, is the perfect base from which to explore one of Iceland's most celebrated regions - the Snaefellsnes Peninsula.

South facing and with a light open plan design, the lodge sleeps up to eight people in three second floor bedrooms (one with a double bed and two with twins) and a fold out double sofa-bed located in the lounge. There is a fully equipped modern kitchen, plus a dining area.

During the winter time, the road leading to the Glacier Lodge may be impassable and you may need to park on the Hellnar road (Road 5730) and walk over to the lodge.

Away from light pollution and with vast open skies, Glacier Lodge is in an excellent position for watching displays of the aurora borealis should they occur during your stay.

With the region's natural beauty on your doorstep, including the striking sea stacks of Arnarstapi, there are plenty of things to see and do from a variety of hiking trails, sailing excursions and whale and bird watching opportunities, to activities on and around nearby Snaefellsjokull glacier - including snowmobile.

I cannot say enough about this place. It was exactly as described and in a beautiful location. Thank you so much for creating an inviting, warm, cozy environment. If I am lucky enough to get back to Iceland I will be staying here again. Oh, the steps going upstairs are extremely steep but I wouldn’t change a thing about the home.

We had a great stay. The Lodge was very clean and appointed with the basics we needed for our stay. It was perfectly situated to get access to everything we had planned to see on this, our first, trip to the Peninsula.

Fantastic rental!

The location of this house is absolutely perfect. Even sitting on the couch, you are surrounded by nature...glacier to the north, water to the south. Just incredible views. The house itself is bright, airy, very clean, comfortable and has everything you need. Yes, the stairs are steep, but we just left our suitcases on the lower level and brought up only what we needed. It's a great home base for exploring the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

We stayed in 12 different place in Iceland and this was the nicest in terms of decor, amenities, etc. It was a treat to stay there! And an easy walk to a great cafe/restaurant that overlooks one of the best walks in Iceland.

We REALLY enjoyed our stay here! Yes, everything mentioned about the stairs bears thinking about, but didn't hinder us at all! The cabin is more spacious than you'd think and is well equipped/comfortable! We would just suggest more pillows and having the drive plowed before guests arrive (we had to lug our luggage in on a dark, snowy night!). Other than that, I would not hesitate to stay here again! Thank you, Clive and Crew!

Cozy house! The only downfall was no Wi-Fi. Also we came in New Year's day and nothing in the area was open, not even grocery stores. The stairs in the house were a little dicey, but the heated floors in the bathroom made up for it! We will totally stay here again.
